  • ‘Sensible’ start to P&O, MUA talks
    PROGRESS on waterfront reform at P&O facilities is possible after yesterday’s talks between P&O Australia Ltd and the Maritime Union of Australia.
    The talks were held at the highest level between the chairman of the company, Richard Hein and the union’s national secretary, John Coombs.
    Mr Hein said that the discussions were "sensible."
    While Mr Hein declined to elaborate, Mr Coombs said that progress has been made and another meeting was likely this week.
    Mr Coombs said P&O might now give consideration to dropping its legal action against the union, action which until now had prevented any meaningful progress on waterfront reform discussions.

    The Queensland Department of Transport has called in AMSA to assist with the search.
    The Ship Reporting System, mandatory for all vessels using the inner navigation route of the Great Barrier Reef, was used to determine which vessels had been in the north Queensland areas and since that time AMSA has been taking samples from possible suspect vessels.
